1. INPUT
AC INPUT LINE REQUIREMENTS
See datasheet for specification of input line requirements (including Input voltage range, Input frequency, Inputharmonics, Input current and leakage current)
The power supply will automatically recover from AC power loss and shall be capable of start-up under peakloading at 90VAC.Repetitive ON/OFF cycling of the AC input voltage shall not damage the power supply or cause the input fuse toblow.
• Input FuseNot user serviceable. 3.15A, time lag, high breaking capacity, ceramic fuse.
• Input UndervoltageThe power supply is protected against the application of an input voltage below the minimum specified so thatit shall not cause damage to the power supply.
2. DC OUTPUT
OUTPUT VOLTAGES
Output channels 1-4 all have a common 0V. Outputs 1-3 are all positive and output 4 is negative. See thedatasheet for full specifications of the output, including adjustment range, output current, remote-sensingcapability, regulation, ripple & noise and setting accuracy.All Auxiliary supplies are present whilst the ac input is present, irrespective of the state of the other channels (orremote on/off).On the ‘-N’ and ‘-N2’ versions, the auxiliary supply is an independent, 5V/2A (-N) or 13.5V/1A (-N2), floating,isolated output. The 5V/2A auxiliary supply on ‘-N3’ versions shares a common 0V with all other outputs.
REMOTE SENSE
Remote sensing is provided to compensate for voltage drops in the power connections to the load. Remote senseis available for Output 1 and Output 2. Up to 0.5V total line drop can be compensated. The remote sense linesmay be connected as follows: -
• If remote sense is not required, simply do not connect either ‘+sense’ or ‘–sense’
• If remote sense is required, connect ‘-sense’ and ‘+sense’ to the corresponding point at the load (seeFigure 1 for details)
• Note – do not connect remote sense across an output fuse.

EFFICIENCY
Note that the following charts show the efficiencies when the power supply is loaded with typical customerloads (multi output). Even better efficiencies are possible if the unit is used as a single output power supply.
NO LOAD OPERATION
No minimum load is required for the power supply to operate within specification.
SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTION
It is possible to connect multiple NV-175 in series. Do not exceed 160V for the total voltage of outputs connectedin series.The outputs connected in series are non-SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) if the total output voltage + 30% of thehighest maximum rated output voltage exceeds 60V (the 30% addition allows for a single fault in any oneindividual channel).
Outputs must not be connected in parallel.

OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Ripple/Noise
Ripple and noise is defined as periodic or random signals over a frequency range of 10Hz to 20MHz.Measurements are to be made with an 20MHz bandwidth oscilloscope. Measurements are taken at the endof a 150mm length of a twisted pair of cables, terminated with a 100nF ceramic capacitor and a 120µFelectrolytic capacitor. The earth wire of the oscilloscope probe should be as short as possible, winding a linkwire around the earth collar of the probe is the preferred method.

POWER GOOD SIGNAL (J1-11) (available on ‘-N’, ‘-N1’ or ‘-N2’ versions only.)
The Power Good signal is an open collector output that is low to indicate that the ac supply is good and that
output 1 is operating within its regulation limits. It is delayed after start-up to ensure that sufficient primary sideenergy is stored by the power supply for continuous power operation within the specified hold-up time. When theAC power is removed the Power Good Signal will go to an open circuit state. The specifications for the PowerGood Signal are contained below
Signal Type Open collector output. Emitter connected to CH1 0V.

It is delayed after start-up to ensure that sufficient primary side energy is stored by thepower supply for continuous power operation for the specified hold-up time.

OVERSHOOT AT TURN ON/OFF
The output voltage overshoot upon the application or removal of the input mains voltage shall be less than 10%above the nominal voltage. No voltage of opposite polarity shall be present on any output during turn on or turnoff.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
Over temperature protectionIf the NV-175 is operated without adequate cooling, it will cause an over temperature condition and the powersupply will shut down. To restart the PSU, remove the ac supply for 2 seconds and then reapply.
Over voltage protectionAn overvoltage on CH1, 2 or 3 will cause the whole power supply to shutdown (except for standby supply,when fitted). To restart the PSU, remove the ac supply for 10 seconds and then reapply.
Short-Circuit ProtectionA short circuit is defined as an impedance of <0.1 Ohms placed between the DC return and any output. Ashort circuit will cause no damage to the power supply and will cause it to shutdown. The power supply willattempt to restart every 150ms (approximately) until the short-circuit is removed. After removal of the shortcircuit, the power supply will maintain normal operation.A short circuit on the CH4 output will not cause the power supply to shut down; however, after the short circuitis removed, the CH4 output will resume normal operation.
Overcurrent ProtectionOverload currents applied to each output will cause the output to trip before reaching or exceeding the SELVlevel of 240VA.
No Load OperationThe power supply will operate with no load on all outputs with no damage, hazardous condition or reductionin performance.

COOLING REQUIREMENTS
Forced Air CoolingThe maximum continuous rating of all DC outputs combined in 175Watts with a minimum of 2m/s of forced-aircooling across the power supply. The recommended air flow direction is from input to output.
Natural ConvectionUnder the following load conditions, output power is reduced to 75 Watts with unrestricted natural convectioncooling and an ambient temperature of 40°C or less. The power distribution across outputs will affect theavailable output power.

TEMPERATURE DERATING
NV-175 achieves full power output up to 50°C. Above this temperature, the total output power (and individualoutput currents) must be derated by 2.5%/°C up to 70°C. See diagram below.

Installation for optimum EMC performance
MountingAll equipment should be mounted inside an earthed metal box.
If this is not possible then use an earthed metal plane to mount the power supply and load.All 4 corners (of the uncased unit) should be connected to earth.
CablesAll cables (both ac input and dc output) should be run as close as possible to the earthed metal box/plane.AC input cable should be twisted group laid as flat to the earthed metal box/plane as possible.
All output cables should be routed as far away from input cables as possible.If the input and output cables must be run close to each other then screen one or other (or ideally both).
The positive and negative supply cables should be twisted together.The remote sense wires (if used) should be twisted together and run alongside their related supply cables.All cable run loops should be kept as small as possible (this should be implemented in PCB design also).
Connecting between boxesIf cables must be connected between equipment boxes then at the closest possible point to the port where thecables exit the 1
st enclosure connect 100nF decoupling Y caps (between the output and earth). Note that these
capacitors must be rated at the working voltage. Ideally these capacitors should be between all signal cableswhich have to connect between boxes although this may not be practical if fast switching [digital] signals areinvolved (if this is the case then smaller value Y capacitors should be used).
Earth star pointWhere the ac supply enters the equipment, this should be taken to a ‘star point’ chassis mounted earth point(Note compliance with EN609050 practices which require own star point washer and nut) as close as possible tothe IEC inlet. All other earth points should be taken back to this point only.

To calculate MTBF, sum the FPMH for all component parts at the required temperature. This gives total failuresper million hours (FPMH). Convert this to MTBF by dividing 1000000 by the FPMH.
For example: -Require the MTBF for NV1-453TT at 30°C
Main Assembly 1.267Channel 2 0.256Channel 3 0.152Channel 4 0.020
Total FPMH 1.695
Therefore MTBF = 1000000 / 1.695 = 589970 hours (590k hours)

TEST RESULTSDetailed test results are available online from: -
http://testcert.emea.tdk-lambda-europe.com/
You will need the serial number and product code of the unit to retrieve the test results for the unit. Test resultswill not be packaged with the unit. This ensures that the test results will be available for the NV-Power unit for thewhole life of the power supply (not just when the unit is unpacked as with the more traditional printed test results).
